Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Neuraxial opioids were first used for labour analgesia in 1980 following the description of spinal cord opioid receptors in 1979. Via these receptors in the dorsal horn, opioids modulate both the visceral and the somatic pain of labour. The onset and duration of action of the individual opioid are determined primarily by its relative lipid solubility. Neuraxial opioids have a local anaesthetic sparing effect, allowing the use of lower concentrations of both agents while maintaining analgesia. As a sole agent, intrathecal opioids can be used to provide analgesia during the first stage of labour, especially in the high-risk parturient. They also have a role in the management of perineal pain and the provision of rapid-onset analgesia. Unfortunately maternal and neonatal side-effects can occur, the most important being respiratory depression.
